The Eastern train last night was about

Another brilliant day yesterday, with
fresh and bracing northwest wind.
The contract for a new Presbyterian
church at Charleston, Swain county, has
been given.
Mr.. Geo. Henderson has shipped from
Asheville probably the finest hogsh cad
of tobacco which left this section. It con
tanned less than thousand pounds, and
cost him $500.
A train of A cars drawn by one engine
passed down towards Paint Rock yester-
day. This is great achievement on a
mountain road, full of curves and heavy
grades. But the engines are equal to
their work.
Messrs. w. A. Blair & Co. will open a
furniture store, in the lower floor of the
c. E. Graham building on Patton Av-
enue, in week or two. They will have
a splendid room. With every advantage
in handling furniture, they propose to
keep pace with any other market.
Mr.. E. E. Brown, of Harrisonburg, Va,
has removed to Asheville, and will in a
week or two open a photograph gallery
in the third floor of the new Redwood
building on Patton Avenue. Mr.. Brown
liz I;,,o oV1lor,
did artist, and he expresses his deter
minatinn to merit a fair share He this
ipublic patronage.
Among the visitors in the city arc Mr..
&C. Addison ofthe wei! known house.of
G. w. Thorne & Co, of Ri 'Hmond, Va.
which house is repre- .ented mere by Mr..
r. r. Porter; and Mr.. Addison of the
house of Allison and Addison of the
same city, manufacturers of the Star
brand of fertilizers, and also proprietors
of the widely known wholesale seed store.
Don't argue that Herring & WeaY er
have slipped up because they have
slipped out their stock of shoes from
their show windows and slippel ] in their
places full stock of slippers-ladies'
slippers, mems slippers, and the gigantic
slippers for hotel walters use, as big as
Canada snow shoes. It is pretty sight
to see, especially those tiny and delicate
Burt's, and then a curious one to turn
the eye to the monster contrasts beneath
them. 1t is like looking through the
small end ofa telescope and then inVert-
ing it.
Messrs. Elliott & Elliott, of this place
have obtained the contract for building
the new court house at Webster, Jackson
county, for the sum of $11 400, With the
old building included. It is to be built
of brick, 50x71 feet in dimensions, and
is to be completed this fall. The build
ing will be erected on the same grounds
as the old one, but little to one side.
Messrs. Elliott d; Elliott are first-class
contractors, and We are confident the
work will be executed in first-class style.
Mr.. A. 81. Isbell is the architect, and
this we deem aguarantee as to the archi-
tectural character of the work.
The Board of Aldermen last night
were busy considering various mattera
looking to the Improvement of the town.
The Meyor reported that the works at

Board asking foa sufficient qnantity of
water for the purposes of an Ice factory
lsomewhere up in the city-referred TO a
committee. The opening up of q new
street west of the Banner warehouse was
deferree for future consideration. &
A warm recognition is due Capt. Matt
Atkinson for his active efforts and eff
cheney in procuring the passage of the
various railroad bills that promise such
enormous additions to the prosperity Of
Asheville. Largely through his ehortl
were passed the Asheville and Tennessee
road bill, the bill for the road from
Greeneville, s. c., to Asheville, and the
Atlanta, Asheville and Baltimore bill. In
addition to these was the adoption Of
the amendments to the charter of the
iCarolina Central, the chiet feature O
which is the authority given to The
counties along the line to subscribe II
the capital stock of that company
These are valuable services rendered
and should be Droportionately appTecia
ted. -.
